So I just bought a 2011 AR240. Trailer has probably been used 14 times in it's life but the tires are showing wear and are original.

It seems that I need to replace all five tires, re-grease the bearings, replace the roller, probably replace the bunk carpets. Now I probably could get a season or two out of it w/o doing anything but my peace of mind says it must be done.

How much does an aluminum trailer go for? Where do you find one? (all the websites just point me at my local boat dealers who seem to have no information listed online?)
 
Most people find that the aluminum trailers run about 3-4K
 
If you add your location to your profile you may get more responses that are better for your location. You can also change "boatless" to your new model then too!!!! Congrats!
